Leaving the army and returning to civilian life does not mean being chaotic and aimless, and from the moment the transport ship escapes from enemy pursuit and flies over the Monamolin Mountains, Weiss has already begun to look forward to and plan for his future life. After a battle on and off the field, the Ulster Free Confederation and the Norman Empire finally reached an armistice, and for the Union army that had reached its peak, it was followed by a large-scale demobilization. After some careful consideration, Weiss gave up the opportunity to continue his studies at the senior staff officer of Dalefig and applied for retirement as soon as possible. The war was over, and the officers who could be retained were either the elite of the elite or had a unique advantage in a certain aspect, and an officer like him, who was almost from white clothes and was good at guerrilla warfare, became the standard "chicken ribs", so his application was quickly approved. Except for Octavir, no one stepped in to keep him. In fact, both Minister Mulloen and General Pound were thinking about their own affairs at that time, and no one cared about anyone.

After completing the retirement formalities, Weiss took Kemp Jr. back to the Château Clumber-Heisen in the mountains of Somsonas. Although the Lord and his wife suffered a lot during the war, they were much older, and their health was not as good as before, but this did not hinder their cherishing and love for peaceful life. Before Weiss returned, they not only repaired the castle, but also warmly took in several relatives and friends who had lost their support due to the war. Some of these people are old people with their grandchildren, some are orphans and widows, and some men have lost their ability to work, and they live in the castle, especially those children of all ages, which makes the great castle full of life again.

Today, Bella is still studying in Liberty City, the capital of the Federation, and her age is also suitable for seeing and walking more in the outside world, and the arrival of Kemp Jr. undoubtedly fills the biggest emotional gap between the Lord and the Lord. Although he didn't speak Ulster at first, with Weiss's help, he was soon able to communicate with the rest of the group and hang out with his peers in the castle, so adapting to life here was not a big problem for him.

The warmth of the Clumber-Haysen family quickly calmed Weiss's war-hardened heart. However, it was clear that little Somsonas could not hide his heroic brilliance. During the war, he was repeatedly defeated, fought against powerful enemies in Lorraine for more than a year, and established extensive contacts with resistance organizations throughout Lorraine, especially during the most glorious period of Lorraine guerrilla fighters, and a considerable part of the weapons and equipment used by the Lorraine Resistance were provided by Weiss. In the era of common enemies, they were an alliance of rebels, and in peacetime, the relationship of common hatred and even life and death brought them together like a natural magnet to fight for a common goal. Hearing of Weiss's return, many former associates such as Lieutenant Colonel Lohr Wader Stein, Guerrilla Major Grunson Totenberg, and "Grumpy Man" Morton Palach came to visit or invited him to visit. Achieve a new pattern of huddle for warmth and seek common development.

It was the Lord's lifelong wish to revive the Clumber-Haysen family, and Weiss had worked hard for it, but after the baptism of war, his vision and mind were no longer limited to this. Now, while leaving the army and returning to a peaceful life, he is also happy to be able to reflect his value in the prosperity of the country and rely on the development of the family. So, he sent an invitation to the reunion of old comrades-in-arms to his partners all over Lorraine, hoping to take this opportunity to talk about life with everyone. A total of 90 invitations were sent out, and nearly 600 people came on the appointed day. In addition to the family members of the invitees, there were also many old comrades-in-arms who had not been in touch at the beginning, as well as partners who had supported the guerrilla war in various ways in the past. The ability to deal with changes honed on the battlefield allowed Weiss to do a good job of receiving and settling guests with ease, and seeing that everyone was interested in discussing and cooperating matters, he simply took the opportunity of this old comrade-in-arms gathering to open a preparatory meeting for the Lorraine Industrialists Alliance General Assembly - in a limited time, he combined his advanced vision, pioneering thinking and the development trend of Lorraine extended from the development plan of the Clumber-Haysen family, and conceptually put forward the positioning and direction of this Industrialists Alliance. Although in the eyes of the older generation of industrialists represented by the Lord, the future prospect of this alliance of industrialists is like a castle in the air, too ambitious, and even divorced from reality, but because Weiss showed superior leadership, creativity and perseverance in this war, the Lord resolutely handed over the economic dominance of the family to him and let him play freely, and many comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side and intersected with life and death have been answered and clarified by time in various doubts and misunderstandings in the past. He also voted for this wise and courageous guerrilla leader.

During the gathering, heroes from all walks of life expressed their opinions and a hundred flowers bloomed, but in terms of integrity, macro and feasibility, they were much inferior to Weiss's strategic plan. In the end, the group unanimously selected Weiss's plan as a blueprint to build the framework and rules of the Lorraine Industrialists Alliance, and agreed to hold the first Lorraine Industrialists Alliance Conference in Mason, the capital of Lorraine, a month later.

There is no doubt that the initiation of the formation of the Union of Lorraine Industrialists and Weiss's takeover of the economic leadership of the Clumber-Haysen family from the Lord are not in conflict, but rather an opportunity to promote each other. During the war, the Clumber-Heyssen factory was occupied by the Normans for a time, and its direct member Ze Clumber-Heisen, under the alias of Scala, served as the military governor of the Norman Empire in Lorraine, helping the Normans to plunder and extract Lorraine's wealth and resources, but he broke away from the family in a "complete disappearance" many years ago, and then reappeared until wartime, without any contact with the Clumber-Heyssen family, and the rest of the Clumber-Heyssen family were either placed under house arrest by the enemy during the war, or fled to the rear of the Federation, There is also a guerrilla commander like Weiss who bravely resisted the enemy, and the facts are clear and cannot be reversed. After review, the Provisional Government of Lorraine not only returned the Klumber-Heisen factory to the Clumber-Heisen family, but also applied to the federal government for state compensation for the materials and equipment they used to support the guerrilla war during the war.

The military industry is a traditional industry of the Clumber-Heisen family for more than two hundred years, and the war has just ended, and it is unrealistic to expect a large number of orders from the military. Weiss's strategy was to rebuild military production with existing resources, and this field was mainly equipment maintenance, modification, and technical digestion in the short term, and the rest of the energy and manpower resources were invested in new industries - in the early part of the war, the Clumber-Heisen factory provided the federal army with a variety of weapons, including water-cooled heavy machine guns, semi-automatic rifles, and mortars, and the federal government paid in installments, and when the Normans occupied Lorraine, the federal government stopped paying the Clumber-Haisen factory. After the end of the war, the federal government agreed to continue paying the previous arrears, and although the payment span was long, it provided a steady inflow of funds for the Clumber-Heisen plant, which made it possible for them to borrow heavily to develop new ventures......

As one of the main conveners of the congress of the Union of Lorraine Industries, Weiss began the mode of forgetting to sleep and eat, and carried out a detailed and in-depth study of the economic, industrial and social situation of the entire federation. Due to the overwhelming strength of the Normans in the early stage of the war, the federal industrial system had to undergo a strategic relocation, and the high concentration of industry increased production efficiency, but at the same time had a negative effect on the supply of resources. In the east, the limited production of resources kept the prices of industrial raw materials high in times of war. When the war ended and the federal industry needed to move from wartime to peacetime, the balance of supply and demand remained unbalanced, resulting in high prices for various raw materials. As one of the main mineral areas of the Federation, Lorraine once accounted for more than 1/4 of the entire Federation of metal mineral resources. The equilibrium of the market makes the economy urgently need the stable export of Lorraine's mineral resources, and at the gathering of old comrades-in-arms, there is a strong consensus on the resumption of mineral production in various places as soon as possible, but there is a big disagreement on the transportation of minerals: before the war. Minerals are mainly transported by river and air. Specifically, the mineral resources produced in the mountainous areas are transported by river to the railway hub in the east of Lorraine after preliminary smelting or screening in the local area, or directly transported by flying boats. After the attrition of the war, the air transportation has been basically interrupted, and the resources of the Star Source Stone have been concentrated in the hands of the military, and the valuable transport ships need to be used to deploy troops, deploy materials and serve special groups, and it is difficult to turn them into civilian use in a short period of time.

River transportation is the most traditional mode of transportation in Lorraine, which is adapted to local conditions and has low freight, but it also has the shortcomings of small volume, long time and low efficiency. After the technology of flying ships became mature, river transportation gradually took a back seat, and the boom of machinery manufacturing made railway transportation rise rapidly, gradually replacing air and surface transportation in the plains as the main industrial capacity, but in Lorraine, because the terrain is too rugged, especially the terrain in the west and low in the east, the cost of laying railways is too high, even regional industrial towns like Somsonas have not been connected to trains. At the gathering of old comrades-in-arms, many people proposed to concentrate manpower and material resources to build a railway line running through the whole of Lorraine from southeast to northwest. A branch line from this railway line connects important mineral areas. On the planet Orens, most people are accustomed to a simple and crude way of thinking, but in Weiss's view, the construction of railways is expensive and time-consuming, and when the railways are built, the resources in some mining areas may have been mined, and people turn to find new mineral resources, and the laying of railways may never catch up with mineral mining. Therefore, he is inclined to expand river transportation, of course, this suggestion is not casual talk, but needs detailed research, analysis, calculation, just like the battle plan on the battlefield, Weiss carried out meticulous information collection, data analysis and program writing, and can even be accurate to how much capacity each terminal can achieve after expansion, how many additional ships need to be purchased and how many jobs need to be provided for the operation of the whole system. At the same time as expanding river transportation, it is also necessary to build a short-distance railway track from the mining area to the dock area, and use small steam locomotives or diesel locomotives to tow the mine car, which can be transported quickly and conveniently. Once the system is fully operational, the mineral resources will continue to be transported out of Lorraine.

The expansion of river transport is technically feasible, but it still requires a lot of money to put it into practice. After the baptism of war, most of the factories suffered losses, and it would be nice to be able to keep some machinery and equipment, so how can there be extra funds for large-scale reconstruction? In the immediate aftermath of the war, it was unrealistic to count on the federal government's strong support, and even if the government was overly involved, the river transport system would become state-run, which in turn would squeeze the interests of private entrepreneurs. To solve the problem of capital, Weiss once again played his part, with the vision and thinking of the latecomers, he knew that the leverage of capital played a pivotal role in the development of industry......

The transformation of the Clumber-Haysen family, the foundation of the Lorraine Industrialists' Union, the expansion of the Lorraine Canal and the resulting opportunities are like a huge battle plan, and a new challenge for Weiss!
